The chemical name of the Splenda ingredient is sucralose. While sucralose indeed starts off as a sugar molecule, it is the process by which it’s manufactured that raises concern. Sucralose is a synthetic chemical that is produced in a five-step patented process. During this process, three chlorine molecules are added to a basic sugar molecule. The initial, natural sugar molecule is a disaccharide that contains two single sugars that are together; these single sugars are glucose and fructose.

The chemical process to make Splenda modifies the chemical constitution of the sugar so much that it is converted into a molecule that does not normally occur in nature. Because this molecule is not natural, the body does not know how to break it down it. According to the manufacturers of Splenda, this is the very grounds on which Splenda is a zero calorie sweetener — it is not metabolized or digested in the body. Splenda merely passes through the digestive track without depositing any calories.

This is deceptive, however, as Splenda’s zero calorie status would only be technically valid if the body did have the capability to metabolize it. More troubling, the fact that Splenda is an unnatural ingredient evokes questions about its safety, especially if used in generous amounts over a long period of time. There is the additional matter of insulin reaction. While research reports are still unclear, the medical community widely theorizes that Splenda produces an increase in insulin levels, which, whether or not calories are present, will signal the body to hold on to fat reserves or even store more fat.

One medical study nullifies the statement that Splenda is not absorbed in the body. In this study (conducted on humans), one in eight participants did not excrete any sucralose after three days of consuming Splenda. Another study (conducted on animals) determined that 15% of ingested sucralose is absorbed into the digestive system and is later stored in the body. This is why Splenda side effects are so commonly reported.

I’m pretty certain although hog roasts have been around for almost a thousand years they are at their most fashionable right now.One of the most amazing and effective things anyone could do in medieval times was to roast an entire hog to serve up at a important feast. The only people who could afford to hold a hog roast was the very powerful and wealthy so only a select few were able to experience and savour it.Anyone can now experience a hog roast as in 2009 they are even more popular then they were back in the medieval times. When next holding a big party you should consider the possible action of having a hog roast at your event, as there is no better way of feeding numerous greedy people. The method used today has very little differences to the method used almost a thousand years ago. The obvious and small differences are basically just to do with technology, the cookers employed today are gas powered and instead of a manual spit turning system there is a mechanism.The results are a vision which few men or women can refuse, both methods produce the same beautifully roasted hog, dripping with flavour and covered in golden brown crackling.So whether you’re throwing a medieval themed banquet or just holding a birthday party remember to keep hog roasts in mind as it will turn your event into a day that no one will get in a hurry.

During the Second World War, the Germans used fluoride as a tranquilizer in the Russian prison camps. At the same time, American members of the Communist Party met to discuss adding fluoride into the water supply, in order to bring about overall lethargy and thus ease the introduction and eventual dominance of Communism in America.

Over time, the cumulative effect of drinking water laced with sodium fluoride is a slow poisoning of a certain portion of the brain. This causes a submission of the will, so that the person loses the power to resist domination, and makes him completely vulnerable to whoever wishes to govern him. The terminology used in describing this process is “narcotising” the brain.

Fluoridated water was first introduced in 1954, and more than 50 years later about 200,000 tons a year are poured into the drinking water of tens of millions of blissfully unaware people, in thousands of cities across America. Fortunately, hundreds of cities are refusing to allow their citizenry to be poisoned, but the average consumer does not even realize that there is a problem.

Besides the mind-numbing effects, fluoride has also been shown to cause cancer. In 1977, studies were published showing that fluoridation is definitely linked to at least 10,000 cancer deaths each year. The researchers also discovered that of the more than 120 million Americans being poisoned yearly, fluoridation was shown to be a direct cause of arthritis in 40 million people, dental deformity in 8 million children, and allergic reactions in 2 million people.

Interestingly, 13 years earlier the same researchers had shown that fluoride caused bone cancer and increased the rate of oral cancer. Other research has shown that fluoride can induce tumors and cancers, and that it can stimulate the growth rate of existing tumors.

According to the researchers, Dr. Dean Burk, former head of the US National Cancer Institute’s cell chemistry section, and Dr. John Yiamouyiannis, a biochemist and president of the Safe Water Foundation, the results of these tests had been kept away from public knowledge up until the early 1990’s.

Nearly 15 years later, fluoride is still polluting the water supply of hundreds of major cities across the nation.

And if that wasn’t enough, nearly every toothpaste on the market still contains fluoride, and nearly any dentist urges parents to coat their children’s teeth with a “protective coating” of fluoride.

There are, of course, alternatives available. Bottled water is commonplace today, although there is mounting evidence that plastic containers are leaching toxins (phthalates) into the foods and beverages they contain.

And safe toothpaste can be found as well. One must take care to read the ingredients label carefully, however: other harmful ingredients are often used, even in the so-called “natural” brands of toothpaste. Beware of the warning labels on your toothpaste, and use caution when allowing children to brush!

Neways International manufactures a tremendously wide range of safe products all without the use of harmful ingredients or toxins. It is the only company of its kind in the world. The mission is to produce the safest, most effective consumer products in the world without the use of harmful ingredients or toxins, and to improve the health, wealth, and happiness of people around the world.

Several studies have shown that high blood levels of iron are associated with an increased risk of suffering heart attacks and cancers, particularly those of the esophagus and bladder. A study from Harvard showed that it may be the meat source of iron, rather than just the iron itself, that causes the heart attacks and cancers.

People who eat a lot of meat, fish and chicken have higher blood levels of iron than vegetarians. The iron in meat, fish and chicken is called heme iron, which is absorbed at a very high level, around 10-20 percent. On the other hand, the iron that you get from plants is absorbed very poorly; only one to three percent of the iron from leafy green vegetables and other plant sources of iron is absorbed.

Even though there is an association between high iron levels and cancer and heart attacks, we do not know if the iron causes these diseases. You can find out if your iron level is too high by asking you doctor to draw blood for a test called transferrin iron binding saturation. People with a transferrin iron binding saturation of more than 60 percent are at increased risk for developing heart attacks and cancers. If your level is greater than 60 percent, you can reduce your intake of iron by restricting meat, fish, chicken and iron-supplemented foods, and you can get rid of extra iron by donating blood six or more times a year.

Hemochromatosis is an inherited condition in which a person stores too much iron. It is easily treated by donating blood periodically, and when that is done the person will lead a perfectly normal life. Problems only occur when the condition is not diagnosed.

OK, no more excuses. Here’s how to stop making everyone laugh behind your back after getting a whiff of your noxious breath.

Do you secretly fear that your breath is making people gag? Well you can stop the paranoia right now. Here’s how…

Step 1: Scrape your tongue

The first source of a rotten mouth is a tongue smothered in festering bacteria. If your tongue is fuzzy white, you can bet that that layer of filth is making your breath hideous. Scrap off that white coating with a soft toothbrush or a special tongue scraper- you can get one from any drugstore.

Step 2: Gargle with diluted hydrogen peroxide twice a day

After you scrap off those bacteria, you can mix one part water with one part hydrogen peroxide and gargle with it for 45 seconds. The hydrogen peroxide gets real foamy in your mouth, but it helps to kill the excess bacteria that make your breath stink.

Don’t overdo the hydrogen peroxide though. Give yourself 2-5 day breaks from the hydrogen peroxide because too much of this solution in your mouth can decompose the enamel on your teeth.

Step 3: Eat foods that make your breath smell better

There’s a ton of food you can eat to make your breath smell better. And the fact is, you usually smell like what you’re eating. Drink teas like peppermint, Moroccan mint, jasmine, hibiscus and lemon balm to freshen up your mouth. Don’t add sugar because you’ll totally ruin the cooling effect if you do.

Add fresh foods like ginger, parsley, cilantro and scallions to your meals. Make sure these foods are not cooked. Eating them raw helps restore the natural balance of colon bacteria, which ultimately leads to fresher breath.

Step 4: Empty your colon

OK, imagine this: your colon is directly tied to your mouth. If your colon is a filthy overcrowded cesspool, your breath will stink on an astronomical scale. That’s why stinky smells either go out the anus, seep through the skin, or puff out of the mouth. Which way do you prefer?

Eating bran will help you cleanse your colon. You can also try an herbal laxative. Whatever you do, do not take drug to get regular unless your doctor tells you to. That’s because most constipation drugs make your colon weaker and less efficient at pushing out the garbage and that’s the last thing you need.

One other thing, you always want to make sure that your stinky breath is not the result of some fungi invasion. Here’s a simple fungus test that you can use at home: First thing in the morning, spit into a class of water. Don’t drink this. Let the water set for the day. If at the end of the day, you see stringy white substances in the class, you could have a fungal infection.

Now, stop making people dizzy and start making them smile with your newfound methods for fearlessly fresh breath.

Are you a pro at yo-yo dieting? Let Naweko show you how to go from slob to sexy using the secret mind tools that even fitness models won’t tell you about.
